What’s Your Favorite Reality TV show? (Poll Results)
May 20, 2007
Nearly a third of the SharpMoms voted for American Idol as their favorite reality TV show. Probably because the show will announce the new Idol this week, as they are now down to two contestants: Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis. My daughter is voting for Jordin and my son for Blake (probably just to spite his sister). It’s always fun to watch the final show!
What other reality TV shows do moms watch? Well, no big surprise that Dancing with the Stars came in second place with 23% of your votes. Another show that will wrap up this week. We lost Ian Ziering last week, so Laila Ali, Apolo Anton Ohno and Joey Fatone will battle it out for the top stop this week. I’m an Apolo fan, so we’ll see if my pick wins!
The other reality shows don’t seem to be big hits with the moms, so we’ll just focus on our two big finales this week: American Idol and Dancing with the Stars! Write in and tell us your picks!
Energize Your Family to Help You Out!
May 10, 2007
What’s the best way to get your family (especially your kids) to help out around the house? Energize them by making a game out of it.
I just finished reading a book called Total Mom Makeover by Hannah Keeley. In the book, Keeley gives a great tip that will help mom get some assistance around the house. She suggests setting a timer and asking everyone to pick up and straighten up as much as they can until the timer runs out. I think my kids would enjoy this (at least the first five times anyways). They love a challenge and they love to compete with each other. And, if I can get some cleaning done too, well then count us in!
I’ll be doing a complete review of Keeley’s book later this week. It’s a great motivator for moms.
